REDMK6GLI Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Was looking at the Top 10 NESIS storms in my KU book last night and it was astounding at how big this storm actually was for areas not even close to us. I really wanted to see where to rank it taking into account snowfall from up and down the eastern seaboard including the south. Ice isnt factored into this from what i understand, although this was a severe ice storm down south for many and also a big snowstorm as well. I deduced the top three 93',96', 03' the rest IMO were a toss up. My rough guess would slot this from #6-#10. If anybody wants to add to this i'd appreciate this. After this event was FAR from being big just for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB GFI Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 It's really a testament to how good the long range guidance can be at times. I can remember all the discussions about the cold and snowy look of the CFS back in late January. summaryCFSv2.NaT2mProb.201402.gif summaryCFSv2.NaPrecProb.201402.gif Yeh , we put those CFSV2 maps up , they were great and in Jan leading into Feb .( JMA weeklies ) king of this years 500 . I remember saying when we look back at this winter , we were gona say wow what a layup that was . In the end it always looks easy , but you`re always going to be cautious because there just so model data that pulls you in different directions . Don't think we are done next week . We may have 2 systems before we warm , but the Euro day 10 plus at 500 mb says it comes back for a bit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 You guys really nailed your prediction of an active period. Well done. Ended up with 19.75" in Pok. 8.25" in part 1 and 11.5" in part 2. Guy that does my road and driveway is broken down, looks like I might be off today.

earthlight Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The more I ago around and look, measure, etc..the more I think we were closer to 18 or 19" than 15". But I will stick with my 16" reading..I think there was some compaction/etc. Anyway...here we are: Can't flip that last photo for some reason. You're all used to craning your necks like that anyway from looking at the KMA model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Had 3.5" overnight in Bay Ridge after 8.5" in the morning round for a total of 12". Seasonal total of 53"....incredible! 48" for the season in Long Beach. I guess my mini-shaft zone yesterday enabled you to pull ahead. I should be in the 50"+ club after tomorrow I think. Hopefully much doesn't melt today. After yesterday, my snowpack is the equivalent of Walter White at the end of the Breaking Bad finale-it's been through an absolute war.

Weathergun Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think the HRRR was showing too much dynamic cooling with initial round convection near NYC. Resulting in higher snow/sleet totals. Otherwise, handled everything else pretty well last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Looks like I picked up an additional 1.0"-2.0" of wrap around snow overnight in Carteret NJ for a storm total of 9.0"-10.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantBlizzard2003 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We got about 17" here in Roselle.We got about 13.3" in first part then 3.5 in the second part of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeRain Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Got 13" in first part and 2" in the second part of the storm for a total of 15". That's 64.6" for the season in the NE corner of Nassau County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After yesterday, my snowpack is the equivalent of Walter White at the end of the Breaking Bad finale-it's been through an absolute war. You did really poorly yesterday...I was surprised to hear you only got 8". The snowpack here is like 14" of glacier with 3" of fluff on top. Unreal for Southern Brooklyn; I've been taking a lot of pictures to try to remember and savor the moment. I think this next storm might be yours. You are closer to the ocean which will help with the moisture-starved system and the low being further offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, handled everything else pretty well last night. It was almost 50-75 miles too far SE with the initial band of precip, it wasn't even close to being right, it performed horrific, especially here in Philly.

jm1220 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Anybody care to shed light on that 6.9" total at JFK?? Seems bunk (what else is new) There was definitely a zone right on the south shore that had sleet/rain very early. I only had about 7" total summing parts 1 and 2, and a ton of rain/sleet in the middle. Places just 10 miles north of me had a foot. The dual pol radar yesterday morning was just torture.

uncle W Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 i don't consider it one snow event...After the 8-10" or so that fell yesterday morning it took almost another day for the second round...it also dry slotted and rained all day and evening...The second round was from the upper low...It's nit picking but it what it is...It still adds up to 12.5" but not whole...

Bay Ridge must average at least a couple inches more than Long Beach just by virtue of being farther west and staying snow a bit longer in these situations. I would guess you are around 23-24" whereas I am more like 25-26". If Central Park's average is in the 27-28" category, then we must be similar, as at least this winter we're finishing with very similar totals. Definitely think Manhattan averages a bit more than southern Brooklyn though. We are all at least 200% of average at this point, incredibly. We still have 5-6 more weeks of legitimate snowfall chances to tack onto the totals, and the pattern in late February/first week of March looks great.

Damn that stinks. There were so many areas to the south in Monmouth County NJ that did better. 9-12" from my parents in Holmdel through Freehold.

I always averaged less than Central Park when I lived on 64ST and 12th Ave in Brooklyn...I had 72.3" in 1995-96...23.0" for the blizzard...one of the few times I measured more than KNYC...48.4" in 1993-94 with 9.5" biggest snowfall...I had 8" for Feb. 1995 while KNYC got 11"...
